Hi Chanchao,

With the Kubuntu  PPC Dapper flight 3 live-cd, when I go to admin  
mode, all netork connections are greyed out and it isn't possible to  
change anything (like get the ethernet working). That is why I  
thought it had something to do with sudo, but I guess this is a more  
fundamental issue with Dapper.

Cheers,

Brian
